[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1380811, member: 24565"] If you are willing to retain ownership and avoid the dock at the salebarn. This year on a down market it was more like $200 than the normal $150. The other thing to expect in mixing small with big, tall with short, or whatever; the second generation can go any which way. So the sorting is not done in one generation. The cattle that do well on forages (big volume) are not always the stars of the feedlot. Lot to drop on the kill floor and if they quit growing soon enough (related to FS) there will be plenty of 4s to deal with on YG. Been working a tad on a calving ease line with better replacement heifer options with an OCC influence. First generation was OK. Most of the second generation left here last month and were the shortest cattle we have had in decades. Kept a sort but with knowledge of the dams and with individual data and selection. Sometimes you have to pay to play. Paid enough. Time to see better or quit. [/QUOTE]
